Up at 7:30 this morning, and did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast. I didn't have a very good plan for today, so I just played by ear, doing this and that of little consequence beyond making an appointment for bloodwork next Friday to check my cholesterol and liver enzymes (which were slightly elevated at last check a month ago).
Since Mother missed most of the film festival, I read my previous blog postings to her that described the film contents. I also showed her some videos from the seed swap video. Though I don't know if she'd be up to it, I think she'd like to attend a seed swap if one is held in our town someday (provided it isn't at the museum).
Hubbie spent time working in the yard today, though it is pretty chilly out there. Mother worked on her jigsaw puzzle. She also made a batch of rice pudding this morning, in order to use leftover cooked rice from a previous meal.
Got a call from our friend who lives in Springfield, MO. She and her husband are in their 80s, and are beginning to experience a litany of physical ailments. Her husband is home recuperating from prostate surgery. The surgery was supposed to be a procedure with an overnight stay, but turned into a ten-day ordeal, with doctors discovering he has congestive heart failure. He also contracted pneumonia while hospitalized. It's our contention that it's not safe to go to a hospital these days. The main reason that our friend called was because her computer crashed, and she lost all the information in her address book, but we had a nice long chat and caught up on each other's lives.
Later, our local newspaper confirmed our suspicions that lightening caused the fire that burned our neighbor's house to the ground. Thank goodness, when the lightening struck, it created such a loud crashing noise that they were awakened and could escape the house unharmed.
For supper tonight, we spooned leftover barbecue sauce loaded with carrots, onions, and celery over baked potatoes. The sauce was from the pork chop lunch we had yesterday. The remainder of the Chinese beets, along with sliced tomatoes from the hydroponic farm completed the meal.
Tonight, I met my Literacy Council student for a session at the college.

I'm really not liking the fact that Blogger isn't showing paragraphs in my posts.
